Operation: Drop Bears Dive!
Verlag: Dream Pod 9
von Patrick S. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 07/07/2010 09:13:05

I was originally going to give Operation: Drop Bears Dive! a four star rating but then I thought better of it. Drop Bears is a book that doesn't quite know what kind of book it wants to be, but in this particular case that's actually a good thing. The book is built around a single regiment and does a very good job of developing its history and culture. It also introduces a few interesting character who all play an important role in the regiment, from it's commanding officer to it's engineers and technicians. Details such as equipment and generic NPC stats are also included. The book introduces a few new units, which are all beautifully painted and showcased. While it is mostly aimed at Northern players, Southerners will also find something to have fun with. A lot of new art is on display as well, and while some of it is a bit flat, the more painted pieces are great. As the previous reviewer noted, the presentation is top notch from beginning to end. There are a few scenarios included, which I personally don't care much for, but that's just a matter of taste. In a game as flexible as Heavy Gear Blitz!, scenarios are rather restrictive and seem unnecessary as it is very easy to give your standard game a certain narrative flair by simply putting some thought into the specific objectives that are chosen. For what it's worth, the scenarios offered here are neither better nor worse than those offered in previous campaign books, if you enjoy them. Where the book seems a bit schizoid is when it attempts to serve both as a roleplaying and as a wargaming supplement. While it does a good job at both, it might annoy some readers who are looking for one or the other. Stats are included for Blitz! as well as for 2nd and 3rd editions of the Heavy Gear RPG. Hopefully, if and when a 4th edition comes out, supplements such as this one will benefit from not having to cover multiple incarnations of the same game.

Shattered Peace - The War for Terra Nova Book 1
Verlag: Dream Pod 9
von Patrick S. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 11/04/2009 08:34:51

The new units in the book, the CEF's Stealth Frames and Eden's GOLEMS, are very nice additions and the scenarios seem to be one the whole very good. I wish there had been new models for other factions, but we'll have to wait until the next module for that. The campaign system is also interesting and adds a new dimension to the game, though I personally could have used some examples and more details. It must be said that the system(s) suggested allow for a large degree of freedom for player to personalize the campaign to fit their own tastes.

I have to say, however, that at $20 for 54 pages of material (including some blank forms at the end), this book is seriously overpriced.

Heavy Gear Blitz! Black Talon - Return to Cat's Eye
Verlag: Dream Pod 9
von Patrick S. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 05/17/2009 05:03:02

This is a very good book. The new factions, Caprice (insect-like walkers called "Mounts"), the CEF (with hovertanks and fast-hitting Frames) and the Black Talons (Elite Terra Novan guerillas), are all very neat and well described. Overall, the new rules are a nice addition.

An important section of the book is taken up by a major advance to the Heavy Gear storyline, which is mostly good except for some weird moments that seen lifted straight out of bad anime.

On of my only gripes is that the quality of the art is very uneven, and does not match the high standards set by previous Heavy Gear books.

Heavy Gear Blitz! Locked & Loaded - Rulebook Rev 1.1
Verlag: Dream Pod 9
von Patrick S. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 07/10/2008 03:11:52

The greatest incarnation of the Heavy Gear miniature game yet! Great and elegant rules. And significantly less typos than in previous DP9 products. Due to both the price and the updates, the PDF is definitely the format to go with.
